Government of Dubai Media Office:  Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced that it has renamed the Happiness Street and Al Mustaqbal Street in Dubai.

The Happiness Street, which stretches across the Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai International Finance Centre, Emirates Towers and Burj Khalifa district, has been renamed as Al Mustaqbal Street while the Al Mustaqbal Street, located near the City Walk district, will now be called the Happiness Street.

“Al Mustaqbal Street, which extends 9 km, connects Al Majlis Street and Al Meydan Street. Renaming this vital corridor as Al Mustaqbal Street fits well with the scale of entities on both sides of the street such as The Executive Council, World Trade Centre, Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai International Finance Centre and several international facilities. It depicts the role of these vital facilities in shaping and building the future,” said His Excellency Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors, RTA.

“Happiness Street, which extends from Al Safa Street North to Al Enjaz Street South, is dotted by an array of tourist and recreational facilities such as the City Walk and Coca-Cola Arena. Such facilities contribute to the happiness and welfare of citizens, residents and tourists, and the name befits the recent classification of the UAE as home to the happiest people on earth,” added Al Tayer.

Following the renaming, RTA started replacing over 100 directional signs on both streets, including overhead gantry signboards and roadside signs.
